Richmond, One of my colleagues who teaches Python uses a cloud-based service called PythonAnywhere. The basic plan is free for anyone to use. You access it through a web browser. You may find it useful.
Host, run, and code Python in the cloud: PythonAnywhere<https://www.pythonanywhere.com/> I have just tapped the extent of my Python system knowledge. ;) Devin On Aug 13, 2018, at 2:23 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Like it or not (and mainly NOT), I have to offer Python to kids this fall . . . This is a b*gger for several reasons: 1. I love LiveCode. 2. To use Python to any effect apart from rather goofy manipulations with numbers and text an install requires 'modules' which are usually installed using a daft command-line system using something call 'PIP' [ "Permanently Injurious Python" perhaps? ] . . . which I have signally failed to get to work on either Macintosh or Linux. I wonder of anyone knows of a way to install Python 3 on Linux with the main GUI modules "bound in": i.e. a one-stop install. Frankly, Python, by using this module system seems to defeat itself to a certain extent: or, maybe I'm just spoilt by LiveCode. This question is very timely as Wednesday is Nag Panchami: the day of snakes!
